Permanent Deacon Ordination
The principal function...
...of the deacon, therefore, is to collaborate with the bishop and the priests in the exercise of a ministry which is not of their own wisdom but of the Word of God, calling all to conversion and holiness.

...whose herald you have become. Believe what you read, teach what you believe, and practice what you teach.
